Anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of Peperomia pellucida (L.) HBK (Piperaceae)

Effects of hawthorn seed and pulp extracts on the central nervous system

“…The mouse was placed in a glass beaker, which was set at a fixed temperature of 55° ± 0.5°C in a water bath and the reaction time of the mouse (latency time for paw licking or jumping) was determined by a stopwatch (de Fátima Arrigoni-Blank et al, 2004). A sensitivity test was carried out before the experiments and only the animals reacting within 15 s were chosen for the tests (Shinde et al, 1999).…”

“…A sensitivity test was carried out before the experiments and only the animals reacting within 15 s were chosen for the tests (Shinde et al, 1999). Maximum cut-off time was established as 30 s to prevent tissue damage (de Fátima Arrigoni-Blank et al, 2004). Effects of the extracts on nociception were calculated by converting hot-plate latencies to percentage analgesic activity according to the following equation (Asongalem et al, 2004):…”

Optimization of Microwave-Assisted Extraction of Active Compounds, Antioxidant Activity and Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitory Activity from Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth

“…Scientifically, this plant has been proven to demonstrate some biological activities, such as anti-inflammation, analgesic, and fracture healing. 14,15 In the previous study, methanolic extract of this plant showed strong ACE inhibitory activity. 16 This plant reported to contained flavonoid and phenolic compounds.…”

Synthesis and analgesic effects of 2-(2-carboxyphenylsulfanyl)-N-(4-substitutedphenyl)acetamide derivatives

“…Mouse was placed in a glass beaker, which was set at a fixed temperature of 55 ± 0.5°C in a water bath and the latency time for paw licking or jumping was determined by a stopwatch (De Fátima Arrigoni-Blank et al, 2004).
